APPENDICES 1. PROCEDURES FOR EXPERIMENTATION IN RAPIER COMBAT Before any new weapon or technique can be used in Society Rapier Combat, a test plan must be submitted by the Kingdom Rapier Marshal to and approved by the Deputy Society Marshal for Rapier Combat. This plan shall describe: a. The new weapon or technique b. Specifics of materials used and construction of the weapon (as appropriate); c. In the case of new blade types, a sample of the new blade-type for direct evaluation by the Deputy Society Marshal d. The proposed uses of the new weapon or technique • All restrictions that will be imposed during the experimental period • How long the test period will be It is the prerogative of the Kingdom Rapier Marshals, subject to the above, and to approval of their Earl Marshals, to allow testing of new weapons or techniques within a kingdom. Testing means the weapon or technique may be used at fighter practice, tourneys, and in small melees after all combatants and marshals have been informed the weapon or technique is being tested and that it is not approved for general SCA use. All combatants and marshals must consent to the use of the weapon or technique before combat begins. If any of the marshals or combatants objects to the use of the weapon or technique, it may not be used. At regular intervals the Kingdom Rapier Marshal shall report to their Earl Marshal, and the Deputy Society Marshal, on the progress and results of the experiment. At the end of the test period the Kingdom Rapier Marshal will provide the Deputy Society Marshal with a test summary, to include a list of any injuries that resulted from the use of the weapon or technique, and any concerns from fighters and marshals arising from the testing. The Deputy Society Marshal, after consultation with the Kingdom Rapier Marshals, shall determine if the weapon or technique seems suitable for SCA Rapier Combat. He shall then report to the Society Marshal for final adjudication. 2.

4. BLADE TYPES AND CONVENTIONS Due to the often changing nature of the list of approved rapier blades, appendix 5 is kept as a separate document. You can find the latest version on the SCA web pages under Society Marshal – Rapier Permitted and Restricted Blade Types The purpose of this list is to serve as an appendix to the Rapier Combat Handbook indicating blade types that are specifically allowed or forbidden. Section 2 of the Rapier Combat Handbook lists criteria under which a blade may be used in Society rapier combat without further review. This appendix lists blade types that have been reviewed by the Society Rapier Marshal's office, and either found to be acceptable for use in the Society, or that may not be used in the Society. Note that while individual Kingdom rules may not allow a blade that is not specifically approved by the Society, Kingdoms may restrict the use of certain types of blades that have been approved by Society. Consult the rules for your Kingdom to determine if a particular blade is approved for use. Any blade listed here must still pass the flexibility testing described in section 1.B of the appendix to the Rapier Combat Handbook. Acceptable Blades The blade types below have been reviewed and deemed acceptable for use by the Society Rapier Marshal's office: Blade Notes Approved for Date Commercially These blades are often used in Youth Rapier Jan 2012 manufactured fiberglass or plastic foil blades youth rapier Fiberglass constructed Home-made blade simulations Heavy Rapier Jan 2012 blades made from fiberglass rods.
